By Martin Fletcher, NBC News Correspondent
VALLETTA, Malta – How things have changed. When the 2004 tsunami hit the Indian Ocean, America sent the Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy to help evacuees. China sent a cargo ship.
Now to evacuate American workers from the crisis in Libya, America sent a chartered ferry too small to ride the rough seas of the Mediterranean.
China chartered a giant ocean cruise ship, 20 civilian aircraft, four military aircraft and moved 35,860 of its citizens out of danger in Libya as of Wednesday, within a week of starting the process, according to the Chinese foreign minister.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
瓦莱塔,马耳他。 三十年河东,三十年河西。2004年印度洋海啸的时候,我们MD把海军第七舰队派去协助撤侨,而中国就派了一艘货船。眼下为了撤出当前利比亚危机中的美国工人,美国政府就派了条小得跟舢板似的船去风高浪急的地中海。中国出动了一艘大型巡洋舰,20架民航客机,4架军用客机,在一周之内,周三之前,就从利比亚撤出了全部的35860公民,以上消息由中国外交部长证实。
I’m thinking of the comparison as I wait for my plane in Malta, one of the evacuation hubs. Lined up in complete silence and total order are hundreds of Chinese workers wearing red caps, obeying ladies holding up red and yellow Chinese flags like any tour group at the Vatican. They follow instructions, wait in long lines, and shuffle forward when told. On command, a long single file strides through the concourse like an unstoppable column of ants. I am reminded of the 1927 German movie Metropolis.
What a difference. Not one is wearing headphones or playing with a telephone or digital device. They are all slim and fit, no sign of impending obesity. Their bags are bound with cellophane. Some are still in their orange work suits and carrying orange hardhats. They were working in Libya’s oil, rail, construction and telecommunications industries.
China’s government chartered a fleet of planes to carry them to Shanghai. Quietly, effectively, without fuss, China is evacuating all its workers to safety. It is the silent contract between state and worker: You work abroad, we’ll look after you.
-----------------------------
我在马耳他的一个撤侨集散中心一边等我的飞机,一边思考这个对比。几百名中国工人带着红帽子排成长队,安静而有序,领队的mm举着红黄色的中国国旗,看起来就像是假期中的旅行团。他们都非常听从指挥,排成长长的队,当被叫到的时候就慢慢往前挪,命令一下就像一列不可阻挡的蚂蚁一样大步穿过集散中心。 真是跟米国不一样呀,没有人带着耳机听筒或者在玩手机等数码设备,他们身材都很纤细匀称,没有一个肥头大耳的。他们的包包都用玻璃纸捆起来,有些人还穿着橘黄色的工作服带着橘黄色的建筑帽。他们都是工作在利比亚油田,铁路,建筑,通讯行业的工人。中国政府包了一队的飞机把他们悄悄地,高效地带回上海,没有一丝的凌乱。似乎在政府和工人之间有一个不成文的协议:你在外面工作,我在后面罩你。
China’s People’s Daily boasted that it was the “largest and most complicated overseas evacuation ever conducted by the Chinese government.” And China’s foreign minister gave credit for the speedy and efficient evacuation to “China’’s peaceful foreign policy, which makes China a popular country in the community of nations.”
There are an estimated 50,000 Chinese workers in Nigeria, 35,000 in Sudan, 40,000 in Zambia, 30,000 in Angola, 20,000 in Algeria and thousands more dotted around the African continent. They are the face of Chinese industry, investment, diplomacy and eventually, power.
But what strikes me is the efficiency and order and calm. Nobody was arguing with the airline staff, objecting to orders, struggling with too many bags and bulky packages. Rather just a line of calm, single men with small cases, waiting patiently to be told what to do and where to go.
It occurred to me, is this the future?
-------------------
中国的人民日报将这次行动自夸成是“中国政府所领导的规模最大,难度最高,情况最复杂的撤侨行动” 中国的外交部部长把撤侨行动的高效归结于“中国的和平外交政策,使得中国在国际社会成为一个受欢迎的国家。”据估计,中国在尼日尼亚有5万工人,在苏丹有3.5万,在赞比亚有4万,在安哥拉有3万,在阿尔及利亚有2万,还有数以千计的工人星罗盘布在整个非洲大陆,他们是中国工业,投资业,外交的代表,最重要的是,他们代表着中国的国家力量。真正让我震撼的是撤侨的效率,秩序,以及安静。没有人在讨论航班,反对顺序,把很多包和大袋子折腾的呯呯嗙磅,仅仅就是一条沉默的人流,耐心的等待被告知要做什么,要去哪里。看到这样我不禁想到,这是不是就是未来?
China has invested heavily in Africa while the West turned elsewhere, and Chinese companies are spreading rapidly and silently through Latin America, too. Their insatiable appetite for coal, copper, bauxite, oil, iron ore and almost every other mineral is leading them on an economic conquest like no other. Their workers lead the rush, and their government spreads its wings to protect them, wherever they are.
As 200 men lined up in a silent single file that snaked through duty-free, with nobody eyeing all the luxuries on display, waiting for a man with a Chinese flag to raise his arm and tell them to move, I didn’t know whether to be filled with admiration or trepidation.
I did think, we better keep them on our side.

当西方把注意力放到别的地方的时候,中国在非洲投了重注,同时中国公司在拉丁美洲的扩张也是非常的安静和迅速。他们对煤矿,铜,矾石,石油,铁矿以及几乎所有其他矿物无止尽的需求已经把他们引上了无人能及的经济征服道路。他们的工人冲在最前面,他们的政府张开羽翼保护着他们,无论在哪里。将近有200人排成的单列饶着圈排到了机场免税店里面,没有人瞧一眼陈列的奢侈品,他们只是在等待举中国国旗的人举起手臂告诉他们该往前挪挪鸟,我不知道我内心充满的是敬佩还是颤抖。我觉得, 我们最好把他们拉到我们这边。 |
回复[31]: liang (2011-03-08 00:54:59) | | 上面各位轮运神仙[请对号入座,不对号的不要善自入坐],骂不一定是因为恨,也可为了平均骂而骂。 |
回复[32]: 东京博士 (2011-03-08 08:09:31) | | 特此声明,我这个回帖不针对任何一个ID。
最近又在想一个老问题,生活中究竟是一些什么样的人希望东洋镜被封禁,希望镜子上整天都是互相攻击的低级回帖呢?批评社会不合理的现象,批评独裁,这些都是人的理念范畴的东西,评判争论无需惊讶,凡身在海外,有不同社会体验,更无意识地比较是非常合乎情理的,但每次都沦落到ID之间的互相攻击,不得不令人思考这是不是为了转移方向,掩盖本质的高级捣浆糊,因为很多都是不争的事实,本来没必要如此执着纠缠,喋喋不休的,看一个人,看其2,3个回帖大致可得出轮廓,理念不同,无视便可,若是五毛,更无需理睬。
|
回复[33]: liang (2011-03-08 18:15:09) | | 32楼太偏向了,你说别人五毛,这就是ID攻击。
我非常希望大家以后都不要用五毛,4円党,轮运,共匪,支那,倭奴等等词字。
无论是批评独裁,还是拥护独裁,都可以辩论,但是不要扣上面那些帽子。
都是成年人,有权力保留自己的观点,论坛不需要赢家。 |
回复[34]: 东京博士 (2011-03-08 18:36:34) | | 此地无银三百两 |
回复[35]: liang既然拥护独裁 独屏 (2011-03-08 18:51:36) | | 又仇恨“倭奴”,那为什么要赖在日本?
给我们解释解释,否则没法禁止别人怀疑你是5毛---即 网评员
再说了,既然你坚持有权保留你拥护独裁的观点,
那就不要假装不知道有“网评员”的存在 这个事实。
另外,傻啦吧唧的楼主,跟你说了“工是工,侨是侨”,完全不是一个概念
你个弱智还在那儿没完没了混水摸鱼? |
回复[36]: liang (2011-03-08 19:16:50) | | 我说倭奴,是因为一些人嘴里满口支那。你侮辱自己的原居国可以,我骂日本就不行?
至于说五毛,骂人可以,难道你弱智到真的相信在镜子发贴就可以拿钱?
我说你拿日元发帖,你认为是骂人还是事实的陈述?
至于说网评员,任何发帖的人都是网评员,而一个人发帖动机很多,有的是为了辩论,有的是为了好玩,有的是为了打发时间,等等。

回复[37]: liang (2011-03-08 19:47:25) | | 国内一些网站为了增加点击率,以便获取广告费,或者是某些人为了推销产品,打击对手,吸引注意力等等,确实有雇人发帖的现象,现在叫网络水军,据说以前少人做的时候,发一帖挣5毛,而现在据说价格烂了,发一帖3~5分钱。
一些博客也采取这种策略,通过高浏览的点击率,广告费收入不菲。
镜子一看就没什么商业性,是所谓的口水坛或清坛,这也是我在这里玩的重要原因。

回复[38]: 会長 (2011-03-08 21:06:27) | | liang!不管你是不是5毫子。有一点你要知道,与你过招的人个个都大名鼎鼎,有头有脸有照片。而你却不知道哪里来的无名数倍不单止,还要隐去真名。让人摸不着头脑。你骂人可以指名道姓直插人家睾丸,人家批评你却只能在虚拟空间对着一堆抽象符号,这公平吗?如果认为不公平请你亮出真名。朕绝对与你平等对话,你敢不敢应战? |
回复[39]: liang (2011-03-08 21:14:56) | | 此人有断背之嫌,避之则吉。
不理睬是最大的蔑视。 |
回复[40]: 呵呵 高尔夫 (2011-03-08 21:25:35) | | 呵呵。liang看过人家会长活动照片未。周围美妇如云。朕倒担心。你还个50上下,从未近过女色的童贞宅男呢,否则你有家有小为何天天在线那么生活枯燥?
各位,还是那句话,疯掉这条忤逆仔的Id,对他今后的感情生活大有帮助。好不好? |
回复[41]: liang (2011-03-08 21:36:09) | | 与照片上的美妇都有一腿? |
